Armed Forces Day was an annual exhibit open to the public in May of each year at the Ernest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville. After the base closed, the community later took over and started Harmon Field Day, which is held every two years. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, July 21 this year.
